Leave Time for Election Day Voting

$contentHeading

KCKCC encourages all employees to exercise their right to vote. In accordance with Kansas state law (statute 25-418), registered voters are entitled to time off from work on Election Day to participate in voting.

For most KCKCC employees, polling locations open before the start of the workday and close by 7:00 pm, which may provide enough time outside work hours to vote. However, to ensure that every registered voter has the legally required consecutive hours to vote, KCKCC allowsemployees up to one hour of paid time off if needed to vote during the workday.

The specific hour to be taken for voting purposes must be pre-scheduled with the employee’s immediate supervisor.
